DESCRIPTION

Within every child is a vast curiosity for the world around them and how it functions. The Junior Science Olympiad Summer Camp strives to trigger that curiosity and develop better appreciation and understanding of this world. Whether your child has been deeply interest in science or just wants to learn more, this camp offers campers experience and exploration in all domains of science - including earth/space science, natural science (life and environmental), physical science (chemistry and physics), and engineering. The camp is modeled after the National Science Olympiad Program goals. The will be instruction in a variety of science topics like those associated with the Middle School Science Olympiad Program. Through an inquiry-based and in-depth hand-on/minds-on approach, campers will learn and apply content, plan and carry-out science investigations, and design engineering tasks. They will also have the chance to compete and experience what real Science Olympiad tests are like. It is a great opportunity for students going into 4th, 5th, and 6th grade (6th graders participating in the 2-week Science Olympiad Camp in July will benefit from this camp as well!). Half Day campers will take 2 classes. Full day campers will take 4 classes.
